Act a Fool

As everybody on both sides of the country were already aware (and those in the middle vehemently denied and probably still do), Clay Aiken is one of them home - o -sechuls.

Hopefully this means that Aiken will completely reorient himself musically and start to come out with some music not designed and packaged for 93 year old Michigan state retirement home inmates. I want to see him do a cover of "Straight Outta Compton" and then, "Barbie Girl." You know he sings them privately in the shower which he follows up with a blast of scalding hot water in his "shame zone," just to make sure nobody acts a fool and steps out of line down there. After that come the Hail Mary's and the ritualistic cutting. Actually, now that he came out, Clay can probably cut (hah) his shower time in half because it won't be filled with the usual trappings of self hatred/denial/whatever. Well, quite as filled. He is Clay Aiken. Better not push that self esteem into unreasonably positive territory, things could get ugly.
